Thanks Bruce, this was very good advice. I never thought this would start such an animated discussion but I'm glad I asked, I'm definitely continuing with learning outside of CF (along side of CF, not instead - I still think CF is above the rest - it definitely has one of the better mailing lists for it!)

Learning another language can never hurt. Case in point. I put all of my eggs in one basket and stuck to just CF. Although I have a good job that pays very well, I am finding that I am starting to regret limiting myself to just CF. Currently our Intranet in 98% CF, and our Portal is 99% ASP (currently being converted to ASP.net). The problem that I see is that all of the upper management is totally sold on .net and we have to keep justifying why we need CF. What I see is that I may become somewhat of an anachronism if I do not do something about it, so I am learning .net and PHP to improve job security (PHP is really for my side work), and let us not forget the all important marketability aspect of being a programmer. -----Original Message----- From: Perez, Jimmy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, August 26, 2002 1:44 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: CF vs. ASP Hello all, I am a CF certified developer (missed advanced by three points) but am thinking of expanding my horizons/marketability. I have started getting up to speed in ASP/VBScript but the question keeps coming up: should I even spend any time doing this or should I just concentrate on CF? The more e-mails I read in this list, the more I realize how powerful CF is, but should I keep all my eggs in one basket so to speak? Any good advice?
